Sure..No Problem..Don't Listen...

..adjust your own meds..do what you want..but remember, there will be a price to pay. It is often at your pet's health but it will often also include your wallet.  


Here's an example. If your pet is on anti-seizure meds, you give them AS directed. You do not stop giving them because the pet is now "ok." When we recommend a referral..strongly..it's not because we get anything out of it. We don't get "kickbacks." It's about what is best for your pet.  


Seizures beget seizuries..it's called "kindling"  - ie seizures cause MORE seizures. Not a good thing. 


*sigh*


So now, after extensive sedation/drugs, your pet will have to go to an overnight care facility and you will have to spend a lot more than if you had done what your vet recommended. Oh well. I just feel bad for the pets.
